Eventually, it will pave the way for the development of a “universal ID System“ that the government is aiming to establish.

Moreover, this new facility will be a part of a larger project which is data sharing and information exchange between government agencies.

One of its aim is to facilitate the authentication of the supporting documents, validation of credentials and general verification of the existence of personal, educational and professional records of seafarers, OFWs and other applicants.

What You Can Do With It

The portal is available twenty four hours a day, seven days a week (24/7). Here are the things that eregistration system offers.

accessing overseas employment information

applying for agency license

filing requests for registration of principals

applying for issuance of overseas employment certificate (OEC)

registering for overseas employment

paying for processing fees and;

verifying the status of transactions.

The portal interfaces with other government agencies’ information systems by means of the most reliable and secure information exchange technology.

This enables direct validation of information entered by the users to the portal, thereby streamlining the business processes and effecting a positive economic benefit.

Getting Started

Crewing agencies nowadays are thoroughly implementing this system. They require every applicant either sea based or shore based to create an account and get their e-registration number.

Note: You won’t submit any physical documents. No need to visit any POEA branches or offices. Everything will be made over the internet hence the name “e Registration”. You only have to use the details of your Training Certificates to fill out some of the blank fields required.

So here are the easy steps.

1. Register an Account.

2. Sign Up.

In POEA’s e-Services website, choose eRegistration tab. Then, click Sign up Here! and enter the details on the blank fields.

3. Submit.

Click Submit when you’re done. Just leave the page as it is and go to your email account.

4. Email Activation.

In my case, I use Gmail. Check your spam folder if you can’t find the message in your inbox. It should be there. Then click the link at the middle of the email.

If the link is un-clickable, copy and paste it on your browser. Hit enter and proceed to Step 5.

5. Setting Password.

You are halfway finished. The link will take you to a page where you must set your password. Follow the instruction and click Update Password.

6. Creating/ Updating Your Profile.

On the next step is your account dashboard. Click Create/ Update Profile Nowso you can start filling out your details.

7. Your e-Registration Number.

After clicking Create/ Update Profile Now, it will take you to another page. At this time, you can also see your e-Registration Number.

Take note of this as some companies will only require you to give them your e Registration Number. Others like to get a printed copy of your profile.

8. Personal Information.

On the image at Step 7, you can see below series of Sectionsfrom 1 to 6. Those are the fields that you will have to fill out.

And remember, items marked with red asterisks (*) are mandatory fields. This is tricky because the system will not save your progress if you leave them blank.

Reminder: We will use the Requirements that we prepared before the start of this tutorial. Section 2wants you to upload a scanned copy of your 2×2-sized picture on white background.

9. e Registration Quick Tips.

Section 3 requires you to upload a copy of your SIRB. You only need to submit the information on the front page.

In Section 5, you need to fill out the details regarding your training. If you already have a copy of it, just enter the required fields. You don’t need to write down all your training records because one is enough unless your company requires you so.

The rest of the sections are basic information about yourself. You can complete them if you have spare time typing your records.

10. Saving Your Work.

Click the Save button located at the bottom section of your screen after everything else is duly filled out. If you can’t click it, review your work. You might have missed other fields that you left blank.

That’s it! But I would like to highly point out that using laptop and preparing the requirements above will save you a great amount of time and temper. I used smartphone and it took me three hours to finish up my e Registration account!

Use Laptop

When you go to a new app on your phone, you will lose your progress once the page reloads automatically. Likewise, if you open a new file or just temporarily minimize the screen, your browser will delete your hard work from Section 1 to 6. The web page will most probably refresh itself when you return to your tab. All the details you put will be wiped out. You have to start filling out the form again from the beginning.

But when you use laptop, your information will stay there even if you transfer to another tab. Just don’t refresh the page. I prepared a separate post for those having great difficulty completing their e-registration profile because of errors.

the part where you click when moving from one section to another has turned black except for the section 2, double and triple checked everything in section 2 but nothing was missing, can anyone help me out with this? i need suggestion as to howto fix this problem…

i was able to complete the process already, the part which i was having trouble is section 2 and i found out what’s wrong, once you clicked the section 2 there are information that was already pre-given like your birthday and status, i keep on changing my status to married coz what was pre given was single and that is what keeps section 2 incomplete, you dont have to change that anymore update what’s blank then save everything afterwards you can go back and edit your status once you have registered already that is just what i did…

You are correct. Hindi na pwedeng umulit magregister having the same name since nabigyan kna ng eregistration number. The best that you can do is to call their Manpower Registry Division on these numbers: 7221172 or 7221173. Wishing you luck!

Hello. When you click the “change photo” button for your Profile, it will automatically take you to the tab in Section 2 (if you’re not there yet). Or in case if you click “change photo” in the Passport column, it will automatically take you to the tab in Section 3. You must click “Choose File” to open a folder that you can upload an image for your profile and Passport.

Let me know if your problem is solved. Thanks

donot use – dash in filling up like for example in putting contact number

Try nyo po mag-log in ulit at some other time. pag ganun pa rin po, you may have to reach out to POEA in one of their contact details. Nagkakaproblema po kasi ung website nila especially if masyadong marami nagreregister at nag-lolog in at any given time.
